"""
This module defines base classes for all models.  The base class of all
models is `~astropy.modeling.Model`. `~astropy.modeling.FittableModel` is
the base class for all fittable models. Fittable models can be linear or
nonlinear in a regression analysis sense.

All models provide a `__call__` method which performs the transformation in
a purely mathematical way, i.e. the models are unitless.  Model instances can
represent either a single model, or a "model set" representing multiple copies
of the same type of model, but with potentially different values of the
parameters in each model making up the set.

class Model(metaclass=_ModelMeta):
    """
    Base class for all models.

    This is an abstract class and should not be instantiated directly.

    The following initialization arguments apply to the majority of Model
    subclasses by default (exceptions include specialized utility models
    like `~astropy.modeling.mappings.Mapping`).  Parametric models take all
    their parameters as arguments, followed by any of the following optional
    keyword arguments:

    Parameters
    ----------
    name : str, optional
        A human-friendly name associated with this model instance
        (particularly useful for identifying the individual components of a
        compound model).

    meta : dict, optional
        An optional dict of user-defined metadata to attach to this model.
        How this is used and interpreted is up to the user or individual use
        case.

    n_models : int, optional
        If given an integer greater than 1, a *model set* is instantiated
        instead of a single model.  This affects how the parameter arguments
        are interpreted.  In this case each parameter must be given as a list
        or array--elements of this array are taken along the first axis (or
        ``model_set_axis`` if specified), such that the Nth element is the
        value of that parameter for the Nth model in the set.

        See the section on model sets in the documentation for more details.

    model_set_axis : int, optional
        This argument only applies when creating a model set (i.e. ``n_models >
        1``).  It changes how parameter values are interpreted.  Normally the
        first axis of each input parameter array (properly the 0th axis) is
        taken as the axis corresponding to the model sets.  However, any axis
        of an input array may be taken as this "model set axis".  This accepts
        negative integers as well--for example use ``model_set_axis=-1`` if the
        last (most rapidly changing) axis should be associated with the model
        sets. Also, ``model_set_axis=False`` can be used to tell that a given
        input should be used to evaluate all the models in the model set.

    fixed : dict, optional
        Dictionary ``{parameter_name: bool}`` setting the fixed constraint
        for one or more parameters.  `True` means the parameter is held fixed
        during fitting and is prevented from updates once an instance of the
        model has been created.

        Alternatively the `~astropy.modeling.Parameter.fixed` property of a
        parameter may be used to lock or unlock individual parameters.

    tied : dict, optional
        Dictionary ``{parameter_name: callable}`` of parameters which are
        linked to some other parameter. The dictionary values are callables
        providing the linking relationship.

        Alternatively the `~astropy.modeling.Parameter.tied` property of a
        parameter may be used to set the ``tied`` constraint on individual
        parameters.

    bounds : dict, optional
        A dictionary ``{parameter_name: value}`` of lower and upper bounds of
        parameters. Keys are parameter names. Values are a list or a tuple
        of length 2 giving the desired range for the parameter.

        Alternatively the `~astropy.modeling.Parameter.min` and
        `~astropy.modeling.Parameter.max` or
        ~astropy.modeling.Parameter.bounds` properties of a parameter may be
        used to set bounds on individual parameters.

    eqcons : list, optional
        List of functions of length n such that ``eqcons[j](x0, *args) == 0.0``
        in a successfully optimized problem.

    ineqcons : list, optional
        List of functions of length n such that ``ieqcons[j](x0, *args) >=
        0.0`` is a successfully optimized problem.

    Examples
    --------
    >>> from astropy.modeling import models
    >>> def tie_center(model):
    ...         mean = 50 * model.stddev
    ...         return mean
    >>> tied_parameters = {'mean': tie_center}

    Specify that ``'mean'`` is a tied parameter in one of two ways:

    >>> g1 = models.Gaussian1D(amplitude=10, mean=5, stddev=.3,
    ...                        tied=tied_parameters)

    or

    >>> g1 = models.Gaussian1D(amplitude=10, mean=5, stddev=.3)
    >>> g1.mean.tied
    False
    >>> g1.mean.tied = tie_center
    >>> g1.mean.tied
    <function tie_center at 0x...>

    Fixed parameters:

    >>> g1 = models.Gaussian1D(amplitude=10, mean=5, stddev=.3,
    ...                        fixed={'stddev': True})
    >>> g1.stddev.fixed
    True

    or

    >>> g1 = models.Gaussian1D(amplitude=10, mean=5, stddev=.3)
    >>> g1.stddev.fixed
    False
    >>> g1.stddev.fixed = True
    >>> g1.stddev.fixed
    True

        The default limits are given by a ``bounding_box`` property or method

        manually to an array-like object of shape ``(model.n_inputs, 2)``. For
        further usage, see :ref:`bounding-boxes`

        The limits are ordered according to the `numpy` indexing
        convention, and are the reverse of the model input order,
        e.g. for inputs ``('x', 'y', 'z')``, ``bounding_box`` is defined:

        * for 1D: ``(x_low, x_high)``
        * for 2D: ``((y_low, y_high), (x_low, x_high))``
        * for 3D: ``((z_low, z_high), (y_low, y_high), (x_low, x_high))``

        Examples
        --------

        Setting the ``bounding_box`` limits for a 1D and 2D model:

        >>> from astropy.modeling.models import Gaussian1D, Gaussian2D
        >>> model_1d = Gaussian1D()
        >>> model_2d = Gaussian2D(x_stddev=1, y_stddev=1)
        >>> model_1d.bounding_box = (-5, 5)
        >>> model_2d.bounding_box = ((-6, 6), (-5, 5))

        Setting the bounding_box limits for a user-defined 3D `custom_model`:

        >>> from astropy.modeling.models import custom_model
        >>> def const3d(x, y, z, amp=1):
        ...    return amp
        ...

        >>> model_3d = Const3D()
        >>> model_3d.bounding_box = ((-6, 6), (-5, 5), (-4, 4))

        user-defined value--this will reset it back to the default defined
        on the class:

        The key difference relative to evaluating the model directly is that
        this method is limited to a bounding box if the `Model.bounding_box`
        attribute is set.

        Parameters
        ----------
        out : `numpy.ndarray`, optional
            An array that the evaluated model will be added to.  If this is not
            given (or given as ``None``), a new array will be created.
        coords : array-like, optional
            An array to be used to translate from the model's input coordinates
            to the ``out`` array. It should have the property that
            ``self(coords)`` yields the same shape as ``out``.  If ``out`` is
            not specified, ``coords`` will be used to determine the shape of
            the returned array. If this is not provided (or None), the model
            will be evaluated on a grid determined by `Model.bounding_box`.

        Returns
        -------
        out : `numpy.ndarray`
            The model added to ``out`` if  ``out`` is not ``None``, or else a
            new array from evaluating the model over ``coords``.
            If ``out`` and ``coords`` are both `None`, the returned array is
            limited to the `Model.bounding_box` limits. If
            `Model.bounding_box` is `None`, ``arr`` or ``coords`` must be
            passed.

        Raises
        ------
        ValueError
            If ``coords`` are not given and the the `Model.bounding_box` of
            this model is not set.

    This function creates a compound model with one or more of the input

    Parameters
    ----------
    modelinstance : `~astropy.modeling.Model` instance
        This is the model that one or more of the
        model input values will be fixed to some constant value.
    values : dict
        A dictionary where the key identifies which input to fix
        and its value is the value to fix it at. The key may either be the
        name of the input or a number reflecting its order in the inputs.

    Examples
    --------

    >>> from astropy.modeling.models import Gaussian2D
    >>> g = Gaussian2D(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
    >>> gv = fix_inputs(g, {0: 2.5})

def custom_model(*args, fit_deriv=None, **kwargs):
    """
    Create a model from a user defined function. The inputs and parameters of
    the model will be inferred from the arguments of the function.

    This can be used either as a function or as a decorator.  See below for
    examples of both usages.

    .. note::

        All model parameters have to be defined as keyword arguments with
        default values in the model function.  Use `None` as a default argument
        value if you do not want to have a default value for that parameter.

    Parameters
    ----------
    func : function
        Function which defines the model.  It should take N positional
        arguments where ``N`` is dimensions of the model (the number of
        independent variable in the model), and any number of keyword arguments
        (the parameters).  It must return the value of the model (typically as
        an array, but can also be a scalar for scalar inputs).  This
        corresponds to the `~astropy.modeling.Model.evaluate` method.
    fit_deriv : function, optional
        Function which defines the Jacobian derivative of the model. I.e., the
        derivative with respect to the *parameters* of the model.  It should
        have the same argument signature as ``func``, but should return a
        sequence where each element of the sequence is the derivative
        with respect to the corresponding argument. This corresponds to the
        :meth:`~astropy.modeling.FittableModel.fit_deriv` method.

    Examples
    --------
    Define a sinusoidal model function as a custom 1D model::

        >>> from astropy.modeling.models import custom_model
        >>> import numpy as np
        >>> def sine_model(x, amplitude=1., frequency=1.):
        ...     return amplitude * np.sin(2 * np.pi * frequency * x)
        >>> def sine_deriv(x, amplitude=1., frequency=1.):
        ...     return 2 * np.pi * amplitude * np.cos(2 * np.pi * frequency * x)
        >>> SineModel = custom_model(sine_model, fit_deriv=sine_deriv)

    Create an instance of the custom model and evaluate it::

        >>> model = SineModel()
        >>> model(0.25)
        1.0

    This model instance can now be used like a usual astropy model.

    The next example demonstrates a 2D Moffat function model, and also
    demonstrates the support for docstrings (this example could also include
    a derivative, but it has been omitted for simplicity)::

        >>> @custom_model
        ... def Moffat2D(x, y, amplitude=1.0, x_0=0.0, y_0=0.0, gamma=1.0,
        ...            alpha=1.0):

        ...     return amplitude * (1 + rr_gg) ** (-alpha)
        ...
        >>> print(Moffat2D.__doc__)
